Spontaneous rupture of a choledochal cyst leading to biliary peritonitis is a rare complication which can be fatal if not promptly diagnosed. The authors report the ultrasound and CT findings of two cases of spontaneous choledochal cystic rupture and the biliary peritonitis which ensued.

The use of ultrasound for evaluation of blunt testicular injury allows contusion to be differentiated from rupture, and some authors advocate reserving surgical management for testicular rupture. We reviewed 22 operated cases of blunt scrotal trauma, 10 cases of them were evaluated with ultrasound preoperatively. In 8 of 10 cases, the tunica albuginea rupture was correctly diagnosed by ultrasonography but there were one false-positive and one false-negative diagnosis of rupture. Without preoperative ultrasound diagnosis, 12 cases were explorated because of suspicious testicular rupture only by physical examination. Three cases of them had intact tunica albuginea. These results suggest that the ultrasound diagnosis of blunt scrotal trauma is not sufficiently accurate to eliminate is highly sccurate, readily available.

Spontaneous hemorrhage from adrenal tumor is most commonly due to rupture of a pheochromocytoma and sometimes due to adrenocortical carcinoma or adrenal cyst. We report 2 cases of spontaneous retroperitoneal hemorrhage that resulted from adrenal tumor, one is an adrenocortical carcinoma and the other an adrenal cyst. They showed atypical imaging features on ultrasonography or computerized tomography.

Epidermal inclusion cyst of the breast is an uncommon benign lesion and it is usually located in the skin layer. We report here on two cases of ruptured epidermal inclusion cysts in the subareolar area, which is a very unusual location for these cysts and these lesions can be mistaken for breast malignancies.

Avulsion injury of the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) tendon from the distal phalanx is considered as a rare injury. We report a patient who sustained a FDP tendon rupture insertion on her fifth finger as a result of a closed, hyperextension with no accompanying laceration or predisposing pathologic condition. Preoperative ultrasonography showed complete rupture of FDP and the gap between the tendon ends. According to the classification by Leddy and Pacter, this case is type II. The reconstruction of flexor tendon using pull-out suture and tie-over button. We are reporting a case with brief review of literatures.

The ultrasonographic features in 26 cases of blunt testicular trauma were reviewed. Ultrasonography diagnosed correctly in 11 surgically proven cases of testicular rupture. There were three false-positive cases, two with a large scrotal hematocele and one with epididymis rupture. there were no false-negative cases. The sensitivity and specificity of ultrasonographic diagnosis were 100% and 80% respectively. The positive and negative predictive values were 78. 6% and 100% respectively. Therefore, the negative diagnosis by ultrasonography can warrant conservative therapy.

Spontaneous renal rupture with diversion of blood into the subcapsular and/or perinephric spaces in a patient on chronic hemodialysis is a rare clinical entity. The underlying causes found by various authors were tumours, vascular diseases, inflammatory process and cysts. Rupture of renal cysts is another complication that can be life-threatening when it gives rise to subcapsular and/or perinephric hematomas. Screening has been recommended with ultrasound for hemodialysis patients of longer than 3years'duration. We are report a case of spontaneous renal rupture associated with right renal cyst in a patient receiving chronic hemodialysis.
